Vader is going to be incredible, I already know...and yeah, both KOTORs were phenomenal. I seriously hope some KOTOR figures are released in the Black Series.

I started collecting after Episode I...I snagged pretty much everything that was put out until Episode III. I sold everything in 2010 and got back into the line last year. The second collection was mostly KOTOR figures (absolutely loved KOTOR) and a few from the Vintage Collection...then I sold those as soon as I found out about the Black Series...and man, those figures are still blowing my mind. Six inch fully articulated Star Wars figures. I had completely given up on the possibility but it finally happened and so far it's been great. Granted I only have Darth Maul in my current collection but everything else looks great from what I can tell. (VVVVVVV seriously one of the best things ever made IMO VVVVVVV) forgot I had this...a pic of my old collection. Kind of hate seeing it now that they're all gone. Damn it, I want a Black Series Darth Revan.

It's been shown but this is likely the retail version.

bones86 I can provide a pic, I saw this in a review a few weeks ago and also think people should give it a try, it really improves the eyes. (more pics from the review)LarryKoopa Nice catches, the Megaman D-Arts figures are some of the best figures ever made IMO. Question, what's in the Gundam markers? Is it ink or paint?

I really like that Kid Vegeta, it's a great idea...maybe a bit too muscular but a good use of the Zarbon base.

Hmmm...maybe not. I'd pop off the upper portion of the torso, extend the abs a little with epoxy putty and then put the upper portion onto the putty before it dries...chances are the slight movement in that area would be lost by the time the putty dried. I guess you could change it slightly and cut the ab piece in the middle (avoiding the hole where the chest peg goes into) and then place putty where you make the cut but I'm not sure if that would even work.

All things considered it's a very impressive release. I wonder if it comes with a stand.

Love that pic loki, I really can't wait to see the entire team in a set up like that.

You might try placing it into boiling water. The paper clip will also gather heat in the oven and it could do...something. I have no idea what. Crack the clay, melt it...I'm not sure.

The Irwin and Jakks figures that seller has definitely look like production leftovers and rejects. Trunks has a very bootleggish look to him, but the legit figure does too to be honest. He looks like a reject because his eyes are misaligned, and well, he was stored poorly and that's why he is scuffed. The Jakks Vegeta looks like a reject because of the bad hair paint job. I was under the impression that Vegeta was a rejected figure because of the right leg. That's the 10th Anniversary Vegeta and every Vegeta I've seen from this seller lacked the 10th logo on the thigh.

I don't know this for a fact but I don't think they sculpt something first to scan it as reference material. That would really be a pain, they have the option of going straight to the 3D modeling and something tells me that's what they do.

True, and some of those views are grounded in reality and some are based on belief. It isn't as if I said buying more Krillins will force them to make what the fans want BUT it should show them there is demand for figures other than saiyans if people bought from the proper sources (Amazon, Bluefin's site, etc) and if there was a way to get a clear message out (obviously aside from making purchases). Everything I've said is basic common sense. Buy a product, sustain demand for more product (or increase the demand). That isn't an opinion, that's how things work. "Saying you should get Krillin to make a point to the manufacturer is a very idiotic claim, unless you want the figure you shouldn't get it." An option as well. Really stick it to them, show them the fans mean business and don't buy anything we don't want...and then see how long it takes to get a new figure as they try to recover lost profits on everything the fans didn't buy.
Even with that said, as much as I'd like to see it, I still acknowledge that people will refuse to buy Krillin even if it will increase the chances for others. As for Nappa...Idk, for some reason I have lot more confidence in someone "slightly associated" with Tamashii Nations when it comes to this stuff.
